Great session, felt strong. The key for me deadlifting is keep my chest up, far too often I have tendency to start the lift looking down which encourages my back to round. When I keep my chest up, everything falls into place.

I also did some OHP and Push Presses and discovered I press like an old women. So for the next few months I shall stop benching (Aaaaagghhhhhh!!!!) and switch to OHP and the good old Incline to see what i can do. If I can put up some good numbers standing and on the incline hopefully that will translate to my bench. We'll see. My right shoulder and elbow have been a little sore as of late, so I'm going to add a touch more pulling.

Deadlift was only 2.5kgs/5lbs less than my all time max. It was fairly easy, but I got a little outa shape on it, I felt my lower back round so I called it there. Deficit deads felt a little uglier this time, not sure why, the bar kept tracking in front of me. Still, solid work. 215kgs next time and then 220kgs which is a long standing goal, that's 5 plates each end. After that 500lbs/227.5kgs is round the corner.

The 7th rep pressing just died on me, strange. The 6th rep was good, pretty fast and then the 7th died a death half way up. Anyhow, it gives me a base from which to start my new cycle of 5/3/1 next week.
